Heya!
Awesome! Not a lot of people know what it means, the few that do is because they know something of the Japanese culture. xD
Well, it depends on where you live. I live on the northrn part of Mexico, and I can say that it is very different here from the center, or the south. Where I live it is a very indrustialized city, well, the capital at least, because on nearby towns it is very different. Anyway, it is nice where I live, but I've been here my whole life, so I think a little change is in order.
I'd like to visit other countries and live some time there. I would never leave Mexico permanently, though, I love my country just too much. x3
Well, you don't have to know a language to know about new cultures. I don't speak Japanese, but I know my bit about that country. It is nice, yes, to learn new languages, but thankfully almost everyone share the same body language.
Thanks!
